Potter Electric PAD300-SB Sounder Base

Product Description

The Potter Electric Signal PAD300-SB is a sounder base designed for use in fire alarm and life safety notification systems. It mounts in place of a standard detector base and provides an integrated audible alert at the device location, eliminating the need for a separate horn or sounder mounted elsewhere in the installation. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage system contractors install this component as part of a distributed notification layout. The PAD300-SB is sold as an individual unit and is classified as a notification accessory.

The PAD300-SB is suited for commercial and residential fire alarm installations where localized audible notification is required at the detector point. It integrates directly into the detector circuit, allowing the sounder to activate when the associated loop or zone triggers. This approach simplifies wiring runs and reduces the total number of dedicated notification appliance circuit devices required in a layout.
